OG - Rage Review

Rage Review -It’s been four long years since Rage has been in development, the graphics looked amazing and continued to improve throughout the years. They improved so much, in fact, I almost thought it was going to become a PC exclusive. After all the delays ID took to release the game, I started to lose interest thinking the game was doomed to vaporware. Luckily, the game re-surfaced back on the map and ID proved that their long awaited baby was destined for birth. It should come as no surprise that people know ID as pure innovation as they are the fathers of FPS games. Rage feels like ID formula: it has the amazing shooting mechanics, it is graphically one of the best looking games I’ve ever seen, but unlike today’s standards ID is stuck in 1993.

Because it's a low score?

I've played the game for 4-5 hours and in my opinion, compared to overrated FPS games like Crysis 2 and COD, this game is a 9 or 10 in my book. That would be my honest opinion.

id and Carmack don't deserve this. Play the game yourself and you'll se how amazing it is to play, and how much craftsmanship they've put into it.

'My honest opinion'

Welcome to the world of reviews, it's all just opinion.

Gazondaily4581d ago

The review itself is inconsistent, praising the exemplary shooting mechanics in the game and then raising the point that its supposedly a 'lacklustre' shooter like other games.

Its not. The craftsmanship is there for all to see. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. It knows its a traditional shooter that has its DNA intertwined with id's successful formula.

You're right. Rage deserves better than this.

"Welcome to the world of reviews, it's all just opinion."

Serious question: why they don' t call it "opinion" but "review"?

Am I the only one that think opinion=/=review?
I' m almost certain those words are not exactly sinonimous.

M1chl4581d ago

In my honest opinion its a 3/10 game, but definitely don't saying that I am a center of the world and everyone should have same opinion...id you let me down : (

Pintheshadows4580d ago

3/10. You've obviously never played a really bad game before.

I finished campaign today, here is proof:

"Rage created mega textures to add the best visuals you will ever see on a console and PC."

There's a limit on how far an opinion can go, to say such bold assessments for the PC that even Digital Foundry admits isn't too far from it's console brethren. Then there's also BF3 to compare which is pretty unanimous that it holds the title of best graphics (PC wise).

Added to that, the review is quite fragmented. In the end, I only managed to get the author's points after reading the entire score/summary below.

svoulis4580d ago

Yes, agreed but is BF3 out yet. Even though we know what the game will ultimately end up looking like it is not out yet so as it stands there is nothing better than rage out for the pc yet.

I only recently heard about this game, did not look much into it, but liked what I'd seen..
So, I purchased it, and have put about 8 hours into it.. and, yup, I thoroughly enjoy it.
I personally like the game, and it could be improved, yes [but what game can't?]. It's fun.

People always talk about 'Game A' is the killer for 'Game B,' nawh.. Hype is a real killer.
If you don't fall for the hype that some people place on games, you'll enjoy it much more.

I like the cut of your jib. Have a bubble for a truthful comment.

That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.

Alone in the dark is a fun game so that's unfortunate

Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.

Rynxie1h ago

Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos3h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger882h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
